Parlor spelling matches have been quite

culminated very pleasantly on Friday

of these were geographical names, two

Fifty words w ere pronounced for a slate

From tho boston Cuinniercial 1
Suppose a workingmnn, receiving y
sixty dollars per month, wishes to secure
himself at home. Selecting a locality in
the outskirts favorable to his business, ha
purr ha es a lot from the ground-rent land
lord by a written obligation to pay the
legal rate per cent interest annually on the
principal. So, on a lot purchased for $'J00
only twelve dollars a year whould liata to
be jiaid. or for $ -VW only thirty. Asa rule
an eligibly situated lot eighteen feat front
by ninety doep can be procured for the for
mer tigures. .lust as long as this yearly
rental is paid the owner can not demand the
principal.
Having secured his l it, as the next step,
the workingman joins a building; associa
tion. The nock of these associations is
divided into a thousand shares at one dol
lar each, and any number of shares from
ono to fifty may be taken. Wo will sup
pose he purchased five, tin this ho pays
an assestmmit of ono dollars share every
month. As will bo seen, the sum of $l.(X)u
is paid in monthly. At each regular meet
ing this money is put ft auction among the
members, the ono agreeing to pay the
highest premium in addition to the inter
est being tho purchaser. Tho money is
not at once delivered, however, unless
competent security is given, but is kept
until the houso (for the payment of which
tlie money is needed) is erected cm which
a mortgage is taken. If $1(0 is paid as a
premium, it is added to the face of the
note, which is made to run for $1,UM in
stead ol CI, PUD. .s', without really paving
out nny money, he gets his land and his
house, and has tho satisfaction ol'konwing
thHt as long as the lntere-t is promptly
paid no power can dispossess him.
I,et us see lint the interest would
amount to. and how it will compare with
averngo rentals. We will suppose that he
pays twelve dollars, ground rent per an
num, sixty-six dollars ; taxes, twenty dol
lars: making a total of liiutv-riulit dollars
licsiUf this, is the monthly payment to tne
association ol tne stock assessments,
amounting to sixty dollars annually,
wincn is applied to tho payment it tne
principal.
As all the prohts are divided among the
stocmioldors, and as money is sold evry
month, sonio times atdoutile tho premium
wo have mentioned besides the accruing in
terest, it will be rendilv seen that tho bor
rower is entitled to a perpetual dividend.
It would take him nearly nineteen years,
paying his interest and sixty dollars per
year to take up his mortgage, but in reality,
he often finds himself in absolute possession
of his home, freo from incumbranco.in half
that time.
